Features of the BU Retirement Savings Program include:

Boston University automatic core contributions that require no employee contribution

Boston University matching contributions dollar-for-dollar up to 3%

Integration Level: $60,600

For 2019, the integration level is $60,600 for the University core contributions. This value is adjusted each calendar year based on the Wage Base increase or the Consumer Price Index (wages) increase, whichever is smaller.
Here’s how it works: Let’s say you are 50 years old and earn $75,000. Assuming you contribute at least 3% to the Supplemental Retirement & Savings Plan, you will receive a 10% contribution from the University for the first $60,600 you earn ($6,060). For the remaining $14,400 in earnings above $60,600, you will receive a 12% contribution ($1,728). In this example, your total contribution from BU would be $7,788.
